Hi,
Just received AMP3 this morning from DHL.
Power off, installed AMP3, power on DX200.
Plugged in 2.5 mm connector from DHC cable with K10C then HISSSSS non stop until I pushed PLAY.
Stop, idle = No Hissss
Tried to power off the unit. Power on again and Hiss even during SW loading up.
Pressed PLAY and the hiss is gone.
Does anyone owning the new AMP3 has this kind of Hiss?
I don't believe I have this Hiss with AMP1 or AMP2
FW still 2.3
Heard too many problems so far for 2.4 or 2.5 fw.
You need to go 2.5 fw cuz there is update regarding amp3 compatibility
OK. Will try and see.
Does not have to install 2.4 then 2.5? Just 2.5 only?
Balance only cannot connect to single end amp by any method.Hi,
Is AMP3 Line Out also balance only?
Does it mean I cannot use 3.5 mm to RCA cable connecting to my ALO SS6 tube amp?
I need to know since I don't want burn out any unit testing it.
Even using Utopia with 2.5 mm balance cable connected to DX200 sounds great; however, connected DX200 ( use as transport ) to ALO SS6 is super open more for Utopia, more breathing air. Even Aeon hp with DX200 + SS6 sound very good but not like Utopia though.
Thank you for any feedback.

AMP2 - Single-Ended
AMP3 - Balanced
AMP4 - ?
I wonder...
